It has been really lovely to have Eliza, Hannah, and Phoebe here to visit. Noah has come around often too, and Bonny came out today also. Noah has been good about helping us eat up all the brownies and cookies!! (And walking the dogs!)
Isla
is a trouper - she's skeptical at first about the newcomers, but she
can be won over. Here she is having a sweet moment with her dad - who
has been pretty preoccupied with caring for Jonah. Dawn and Harry have
been spelling each other in caring for the baby, and the rest of us have
been trying to be there for the other children. They are doing well -
their prayers and comments are sweet. Eve prayed that we wouldn't all
be "too sad."
Eliza and Hannah leave tomorrow morning. They have both commented that they feel blessed and honored to have had the opportunity to interact with Jonah, and participate in his care.
His breathing is labored. He is struggling. We are not sure what he still has to teach us. But we are willing to learn.
And tonight we celebrated day 9.
Again, on behalf of all the Terrills, we thank you for your prayers and loving thoughts.
-Barbara
